Common Questions
What is the 30-day right to reject?
Within 30 days of purchase, you can reject faulty goods for a full refund. No repair or replacement needed — just send it back.
What happens after 30 days?
From 30 days to 6 months, the retailer gets one chance to repair or replace. If that fails, you can demand a full refund. The burden of proof is on the retailer.
Can I still claim after 6 months?
Yes, but the burden shifts to you to prove the fault was present at the time of purchase. You have up to 6 years in England/Wales (5 in Scotland).
